Relocation of Mining Claims.

The following letter of inquiry was re-
ceived at THE LEADER Office yesterday:
To the Editor OF The Leader.
SILVER Crown, Jan. IA, lss1.-As a
number of relocations have been made in
this camp since Jan. /, several interested
parties have requested me to put the fol-
lowing question to you: If a prospector
located a mining claim on the LIST of Jan
uary, 1886, and has failed to do any work
on said claim during 1886, and another
located the same groand on the LIST of
January. 1887, and records it, can the
latter hold the claim under United States
laws. Yours, CHAMPION.
The United States law on this subject is
very plain. After stating how Il claim
shall be located, and that 800 per year
must be expended, it continues as fol-
lows.
Upon a failure to comply with these
conditions, the claim or mine upon which
such failure occurred. shall be opened to
relocation in the same manner az if no
location had ever been made; provided
that the original locators, their heirs,
assigns or lega! representatives have not
resumed work upon the claim after such
failure and before such relocation.
That means, as We construo it, that if
the first locator absolutely abandoned the
claim for a year after locating it, it was
open 10 relocation in o year; but if he was
in possession in person or by agent and
claiming ownership, it would not be rclo-
catable until the second New Years day
after his location, even if the legal work
was not performed.

John Walbright was found dead in his

district, Wyoming. He was 6s wears Of
age, and had lived there for seventeen
years, and was the first to discover gold in
the district. -.Saadance Gazette.

The man Murphy. who was charged
with criminal assault upon Mrs. DR..
Stevens, was, after a protracted examina-
ton, discharged by Judge Pease. We
did not hear the evidence, but understand
there was no conclusive proof of his ident-
ity. OF course, if there was no reasona-
Bile probability of his conviction, it would
be poor policy to put the county to the
expense of keeping him several months in
Jail and then trying HIM. Suspicion is
very strong against him, however, and If
his guilt could be established he would
fare roughly at the hands Of the law OF an
outraged public sentiment-or BOTH

accident or tragedy. as the case may be.

nothing positive could be learned. Cor

Ohe OF the Yellowstone NarNels.
AT the Cleopatra spring, upon a terrace
forty feet in height and covering three,
quarters of an acre, the deposit is unusually
rapid, and for this reason the spring is
utilized for the purpose of encrusting
the various articles that are sold as
curios and souvenirs in the valley. The
spring has a temperature OF 154 degrees
at the edge, but in every basin that is
fed directly by a hot spring the tempera-
ture increases rapidly as one approaches
the source, and the streams that flow
from the basins retain an agreeable
warmth even at a considerable distance
from the main terrace. At the Cleo
patra spring bottles are sunk or hung
under the dripping water between the
shallow terraces and in four laws NINETY
six hours they are covered with a cal
careous deposit to the depth of one-six-
tenth of an inch. Ornaments made OF
twisted wire after a suitable bath in this
marvellous spring emerge like bits of
branch coral. The amuletic horseshoe is
in great demand \ horseshoe that is
sown in corruption, ragged. rusty, dusty
and with the nails still twisted in it is
raised in interruption, a thing of beauty
and a JOY forever. 1t is in very truth
the materiaiized ghost of a horseshoe.
II you are making the tour of the park
let me advise you to deposit your souve-
Mrs in the Cleopatra spring on the day of
your arrival, and when you are ready to
depart you will find them winter than
snow.-Cor. San Francisco Chronicle.

to 1874 inclusive he served in the state
senate. In 1884, having in the meantime
held various other positions of trust in his
party, he was chosen elector at large for
Cleveland and Hendricks. In August, 1886,
he was nominated for governor and polled

The quaint old man whose loyal adherence
to the customs of his ancestors afforded me
such an interesting illustration, both Of old
Japan and old Britain, was seller of curoy-
akie-i e., carbonized animals; in other
words, animals reduced to charcoal, and
potted in small covered jars of earthenware,
to be sold "a medicine for the sick and suffer

alive in the back premises, and customers Sc
lected the creature for themselves, and stood
by to See it killed and burned on the spot, SO
that there could be no deception and no doubt
as to the freshness OF their charred medicine.

may account for the disappearance Of the
